The Indiana men’s soccer team is once again competing in the NCAA tournament, with the Hoosiers facing off against the No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The match will take place in the Elite 8, and the Hoosiers have a solid track record, winning their last eight matches by defeating Lipscomb, Wake Forest, and Virginia in tournament play. The team is led by top goal-scorers Collins Oduro, Sam Sarver, and Maouloune Goumballe, with J.T. Harms providing reliable defense. Not to be outdone, the Fighting Irish have also secured impressive victories against Kentucky and Western Michigan.
The previous encounter between the two teams resulted in a 1-1 draw, adding a layer of anticipation to their upcoming match. The winner of this game will advance to the College Cup in Louisville, Kentucky, with IU aiming to redeem its loss in last year’s final. The game is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023, at Alumni Soccer Stadium in South Bend, Indiana.
